I'm stuck at what monitors to buy

Hello I'm a Animator which means I use alot of programs like photoshop, maya, and other 2d drawing programs.

I'm just wondering if you think it would be more beneficial to get 3x 27 inch 1440 monitors so cripple monitors..
Or
2x4k 27 inch monitors

Obviously 4k is better, but is it worth it when it's 27 inches?

Also I have got mac installed as a hackintosh so would that make the 4k monitors worth buying then ?

I have a ryzen 1700x and rx 480 8gb to power them.

I have £800 to spend.

Depends on your major usage, do you need same monitors? Or a large 4k screen with a small 2k screen is better? If not extending into 3 screen stuff, this is what I will do.
